NOW PUBLISHED IN PAMPHLET FORM. 



Tke Chicago Tribune says of the above : 

 " It is a singular fact that in all that has been written about tree culture, there has 

 not hitherto been any work to show how to improve the forests we have. This gap 

 in the literature of the subject has been filled by Mr. Cleveland's pamphlet in which he 

 gives the results of his experience in a very readable and instructive paper." 



The Omaha Herald Says. . 

 " The Essay is full of practical hints and suggestions, derived from long, close and 

 intelligent observation of the ways of Nature in growing forests. It is largely devoted 

 to the important matter of preserving them, and pointing out the means of giving the 

 right conditions to the growth of young timber on neglected woodlands." 



The Hon. Marshall P. Wilder., of Boston, writes to the Author: 

 " Thanks for your admirable essay. It is a capital paper. Go on with the good 

 work. It will be a blessing to future generations." 



General M. C. Meigs, late Quarter Master Gen. U- S, A. writes : 

 " I think your essay exceedingly valuable. The subject is of very great im- 

 portance." 



An eminent botanist and tree culturist in Illinois writes : 

 " I do not know when I have read anything on the subject so sensible, well put 

 and so clearly the outgrowth of practical observation and experience. It is refreshing 

 to read anything which so readily commends itself to sound judgement and plain 

 common sense."
